Grandpa, I need an aircraft carrier

Another project made of scraps of pine and hem/fir. Notice the correction in the drawings and spes; tanks can’t fly or swim, so Robby had to go back to the drawing board. Rather than issue a whole new set of drawings, he modified the old one. I have had this happen many times in my career, so I took it in stride. ;-)

The Bumble Bee Squadron can out fly the Blue Angles! They are made of Häagen-Dazs ice cream bar sticks epoxied to the 3/8” dowel fuselage. Robby says he needs at least 10 more planes to fill the carrier deck. But how will they have room to take off and land?

BTW, I took a few builder’s liberties and added the control tower. There were no complaints about this deviation from the strict instructions I was given.

Sorry Sam, I am afraid the bike may fail at the worst possible time. I hate grand kids doing face plants. Don’t ask my why and I did not build the bike, it was factory and not intended for normal use by a teenager ;-) Actually, no bike is intended for normal use by a teenager!

Tomj He is, thanks.

from what i gather , those German made jets are made with strict guidelines, but there design is done in very good taste..;0…....glad to see grandpa busy with contract work…..gathering the building materials must be a stressful job, and being up all hours of the night preparing the wings must have you licked….lol…good job…i need to possibly do something similar…....

Looks like the Grndkid/s are puttin together their own army.. Very good. Really nice aircraft carrier, and planes to go with it. I remember one/some o my favorite toys were those little green army men. Imagination at it’s best.
